Sbe was a little gray lady. Bo Joei
tbe Westerner, thought of her. . He,
was sure that be could not be in love
with so quiet and colorless a person,
and be decided, deliberately, to marry
ber for money.
Tbe gray ludy's real name was
Barbara Walte, and her ' father, a
ranch owner, bad left ber a lot of
money.
Barbara studied" her lessons at her
mother's knee, and when tbe sweet old
lady passed on to hi'r reward, Barbara
as patiently took np ber household
burdens. '
Thus, Big Joe found her. He came
recommended to tuke up the manut;--
tuent of ber lands.
Tbe dresses thut she wore from,
bubit, because of their servieeuhlenet-s,
were usually of a soft gray, and her
eyes, too, were gray, wistfully appeal
Ing us a child's. But the hulr thut had
lain fair across Barburu's temples was
now gray too before its time.
She was not young, Joe concluded
nor yet old. Yes, be would marry ber
for ber money. In a lifetime of labor
aud good fortune he might not accu
mulate such a sum.
She had never known a lover's at
tention, he decided, nor, in all prob
ability, had an admirer. Wooing
would be easy. Many sighing maidens
bud fallen before the unusual charm
of the man's adoring dark eyes which
hud not been adoring after all, but
faithless. He would first show Bar-
bara devotion, rendering ber Id ber
loneliness sympathy aud helpful serv
ice; would uiuke himself necessary by
his kindness, then ubruptly absent
himself awaiting the assurance of her
affection.
If Burbura Walte was lonely with
out him, If she watched and longed as
others hud done, be would return to
her and ask his question.
The little gray ludy gratefully ac
cepted Big Joe's many deeds of kindness.
Often he felt Barbara Walte's eyes
upon hliu, and when he looked buck at
ber boldly, he could detect ber sby
tenderness.
So when Joe went away she missed
him missed him with an ache that
ber true heart had never known be
fore, und when be came confidently
buck to her, Burbara married him.
If he was less kindly attentive as
weeks passed, she told herself that
bis greater personal Interest In the
ranch wus accountuble for this lapse. '
And then one duy be cume to ber
frankly, brutally almost, and told ber
that he was going away.
"I can't stand It uny longer," said
Joe. "I thought I could, but I can't.
I the truth Is I married you for
money, Barbara, aud tbe money
doesn't seem to bring me happiness.
I've got to go away."
Tbe little gray lady did not cry out ;
she did not reproach him. She Just
aat and studied for a time bis flushed,
daring face. "AH right, Joe," she an
swered at last ber tone almost, cheer
ful. He stared at ber, but she was In the
pretty chlntx-draped bedroom sorting
out his clothes.
Mechanically sbe packed his black
leather bag. "You cun send for the
rest of your things when you are lo
cated," she told bim.
Joe took tbe bag. Some way he was
disappointed.
"Good-by Joe," she said Insinuating
ly. "If money was all that you wanted
when you married me, why you are
still married to the money and I'll
send It on until you And the work, or
whatever it Is thut you need."
Ilia bravado fulled. He wanted to
thank her, wanted to refuse ber per
plexing generosity, but found the door
quickly locked and barred against him.
Burbura hud taken blm at his word.

beside him, ber gray eyee soft wltb

Rebellion smoldered in Sibyl Graves'
pretty brown eyes aa aha looked across
the breakfast table at ber husband.
"Wt may aa well understand each
other once and for all, George," abe
announced. "I bave no Intention of
resigning from the club, I get a great
deal of enjoyment and knowledge from
it. You Just don't understand. We
bave some very fine members."
: Ottttf-fie Graves smiled Indulgently,
at the same time consulting bis watch.
. "KiuyT" aald Impressively, "you're
far too sensible to be Interested In
such things as oulja boards, fortune
teller and trance mediums. They are
all fakes, I tell you what If they do
tell yon something that happens to be

Bay and the rest of those occult

suit yourself. I just want to teH you
one thing. I'm tired of sitting home
ljere alone two evenings while you at
tend those meeting,"
He had hardly departed for business
when the telephone bell summoned '
Sibyl. It was Mrs. Ray.
My dear," she gushed, "a friend of
mine called me up to tell me about
this wonderful mystic that la appear
ing at the Lyceum this week. She
ays he Is positively uncanny. A crys
tal gazer Hindu, I believe. I thought
perhapa you might like to go this eve
ning."
I'd love to," confessed Sibyl, "but
I really don't see how I can.. George
would be furlons. He dislike those
thing so."
Hm," remarked Mr. Ray. signif
icantly, "sometimes men tuke thut at
titude because they are afraid certain
tilings In their own bebuvlor will
come to light but of course, with
George it Is Just prejudice, I'm sure,"
she ended sweetly.
'.The following afternoon, Sibyl was
ushered to a seat in the third row of
the darkened theater, Just before the
mystic act came on. The strain of
the music were hushed, as the curtain
slowly ascended, disclosing a most at
tractive stage letting.
a Bim a dense silence, Marvello en
tered from the right wing.
Ladle and gentlemen," .he an
nounced, "my assistant will now pus
through the audience, distributing
cards upon which you may write your
question."
Almost before she realized It, Sibyl
had atretched out ber band and re
ceived a cand from one of the youths.
Pressed for time, she bad no .oppor
tunity to ponder about what to ask,
Surtiedjly she wrote,'"Is my husband
truer The card was almost lmmedl
ately collected and the attendaata re
turned to tbe stage, placing the cards
on a table.
Murselto Hftad his crystal Into tbe
air before him. Tbe audleBce ' was
bushed.
"There Is a lady here tonight who
asks me if her husband Is fickle. I
would say to that lady Madame your
husband spends much of hi time
with a person more blonde than yourself."
Breakfast In the Graves household
next morning waa an uncomfortable
event for George Graves. In answer
to bis wife's accusations,, he at first
ridiculed, then reasoned, then swore.
Tbe arrival of 8lbyl's young brother
Harry at this point, enforced an armis
tice for the sake of appearance, and
Sibyl gave more attention to her
brother's Juvenile chutter thna usual.
"Gosh, I'm tk-ed," ejaculated Harry,
helping himself to some coffee.
"What buve you been doing with
yourself all week?" asked hi slater.
"Well," said Harry, putting down
hi cup and mutely commanding their
undivided attention. "You know, of
course, that Chet Stone' father man
age the Lyceum; Well, Mr. Stone has
been away and ' left Cbet ' In charge.
They' had a mystic down there this
week and right In tike middle of the
week, he got sick. Chefs always been
a bear In theatricals so he Just bor-.
rowed Marvello's stuff snd did bis act
for blm. Yesterday afternoon and eve
ning be got. by finely. I've had to be
his maid, and doll him up."
Sibyl and George exchanged glances
of astonishment.
"But I don't understand," faltered
Blbyl. "How did be answer the ques
tions T"
"Oh, well, of course he couldn't de
Marvello's staff, but be answered them
In general. For Instance,, some wom
an always asks If her husband It true.
Well, he answered that one, and aald
the husband wasn't true and would
you believe It when w looked at the
cards after tbe show, seven women
bad asked tbe same question. I
wouldn't want to be on of those baa-
bends tbla morning. Oh, boy t"
Again Sibyl and George exchanged
a long look of understanding.
When they were alone, Sibyl turned
to her husband with perplexed ex
pression. "8UU," she said, "I don't yet under
stand where you were those two
nights this week. Why all tbe mys
tery f , t '
"ITJ eenfeea," laughed George, "(
was down to tbe Lyceum watching
tbe real Marvello, Honestly, Sibyl,
he had ma going. I can't see bow he
does It 'I'll tell you he'll be there
again, toulgut the real Marvello, I
mean, Let's fo down and see blm to

home' with' ber husband, and If there
Is any occult-chasing done, they do It
together.

BLIND TO GREAT INVENTION
7 - i
French Emperor Missed Opportunity
wnen mi -Turned Down" Ericsson's
Offer te Build Monitor.
March 8, 18C2; August, 1921. These
dates comprise tba history of Ironclad
monitors, tbe first of which. Invented
by John Ericsson, met and defeated
the Merrlmac at Hampton Roads on
tbe date first named. The last of the
Bcitish monitors, after seeing minor
service In, tbe World war, was con
signed to tbe scrsp heap by the ad
miralty last August
Tbe history of the monitors goes
back to tbe daya of Napoleon III, when
Great Britain was In a ferment, appre
hending Invasion from across the
channel. Ericsson, a Swedish engi
neer, urged the French emperor In
1854 to build, according to bis design,
armored vessels of low freeicard, with
big guns in revolving shot-proof
cupolas, placed centrally bn the decks.
Such a type of armor-clad ship, he de
clared,-would revolutionise naval war
fare. The idea-waa not carried out,
and Great Britain's wooden ships
never had to face the ordeal of the
aterrimac.
But Ericsson prevailed on the Union
eaaers or toe American Cavil war
to give his Idea a trial. In 100 days
his ship was built, srmed and
quipped, and It soon fulfilled the In
ventor's hope that It would serve as
a "monitor," or lesson, to the Confed
eracy.
Even before this, however, tbe Brit-
lab admiralty bad taken up the Idea
and had built vessel of a similar
type. At the time of the armistice
the British navy had 87 of them.
longing to the French soldier who
crossed -the German fron tier without'
knowing war had been declared and
waa shot during an altercation with
a German customs agent and a squad
of German Infantry. Once the Iden
tity of the last man killed In the war
la established, a monument will be
raised to commemorate the fatality
and the soldier who lost his life at
the moment of victory.
LAST FATALITY IN DISPUTE
When Determined, Monument Will Be
Erected on Spot Where Unfortu
nate Soldier Died.
When was tbe last man killed In
the war? This Is the latest question
asked by the French literary Journal,
Benaissanc. It promises to be taken
up seriously by tbe allied nations, each
of which has hitherto considered that
the honor belonged to it Tbe British
declare that a few minutes before
eleven o'clock on the morning of tbe
armistice a colonel of machine gunners
In the Brltlah army received a stray
bullet, but It is doubtful whether this
bullet cam from a German suiper or
from a party of mopper up. At any
rate, tbe British case la considered
outclassed. Veterans' sssoclatlons la
allied countries are being eaked to

For some years Black Hawk lived
quietly on a small reservation near
Des Moines. In 1837 tbe peace-loving
Keokuk took htm with a party of Sauk
and Fox chiefs again to Washington,
and on thla trip he made a visit to
Boston. Tbe officials of the city re
ceived tbe sugust warrior and bla com-'
panlona in Faneutl ball, and the gov. ..
crnor of the commonwealth paid them
similar honor at the atstehouse.
8ome war-dances were performed on
the Common for the amusement of the
populace, and afterward -the party
was taken to see a performance by
Edwin Forrest at tbe Tremont thea
ter. Here all went well, except that
at an exciting point in the play the

the considerable consternation of tba
